CHAIRMAN’S CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Happy New Year – I hope you have enjoyed the Christmas break, and you are all probably pleased to be getting back to normality! I should like to thank all the members of the committee for all the work they have carried out throughout the year, all the helpers and everybody else for supporting us. We have an exciting programme of speakers for you. We are developing our website with a lot more information for you to explore. Your generosity was welcomed by Rubens Retreat last year’s charity and we hope you will give the same support for our new charity New Horizons. I would ask you all again to support the society by volunteering to join the committee and to form new groups. We need new ideas and input to develop the society, which is very important for its further future! IAN Gardening Appreciation (1) spent a November morning making artistic representations of flowers. PAGE 1 NEWSLETTER 34 SEPT,OCT,NOV,DEC-16 JAN 2017 LITERATURE GROUP October’s book ‘Cranford” by Elizabeth Gaskell was a success, as most of us found the manners of the time interesting and at times quite funny. I wonder what future generations will think of us? We followed this book by ‘The Road to Little Dribbling”, by Bill Bryson. This was again quite an amusing book, to see ourselves as others see us. It began in Cornwall and meandered through to the north coast of Scotland, with diversions along the way. It was an easy read and provided a lot to discuss. In December we all brought along a poem of our choice to read and discuss. This proved an interesting meeting with some diverse poems. Themes covered some of the serious issues of the day to amusing anecdotes and foibles of everyday life. Our future plans include “Fame is the Spur” by Howard Spring; a Colin Dexter ‘Morse’ book; and ‘Conclave” by Robert Harris. We will then follow on with ‘Rogue Herries’ by Robert Walpole, if it is not too difficult to find At the moment we have space for another member. If anyone is interested, please ring me. Rosemary FRENCH CONVERSATON GROUP The French Conversation Group continues to thrive and we look forward to finally completing our read of a story by Gustave Flaubert which has proved quite challenging. As Francophiles we were saddened by the result of the EU referendum ...quel dommage! The news and our activities and interests continue to be the focus of our French conversation. Barbara GARDEN APPRECIATION GROUP - ONE Visit to 39, Osborne Street, Bredbury - Wednesday 28th September We were made very welcome by Geoff Hoyle and his lovely wife, complete with tea and biscuits and homemade cakes. Can you imagine 35, Dahlias, some up to 7 feet high, many different varieties and colours; it certainly had the WOW factor. After the visit we all enjoyed lunch at The Spread Eagle at Hatherlow. That’s how to spend a great day! Irene November Gardening Appreciation spent a November morning making artistic representations of flowers. As opportunities for exploring gardens had become fewer as winter approached, it was decided to have an indoor event painting bisque coasters with colourful glazes. As members became absorbed in the activity, never was a room of ladies so quiet. A tea and coffee break allowed for a "leg stretch" and then it was back to work before our allotted time in the Community Centre Studio was used up. The artistic efforts were promptly fired in a kiln and members declared their satisfaction at the results. By Anne PAGE 2 NEWSLETTER 34 SEPT,OCT,NOV,DEC-16 JAN 2017 GARDENING GROUP (2) December to February are not the best months for gardens so our meetings are usually of a social nature. Before Christmas the meeting was at Sue and Graham's house where we had refreshments, lots of chat and a presentation on "Flowers of Majorca" which reminded us of sunny days. In January we all met at Platform 1 in Romiley on a bright, warmish day and enjoyed a lunch together catching up on Christmas news. The February meeting is to be our planning meeting for the year. Last year our early trips were marred by hail storms, cold weather and owners cancelling visits as their gardens were running about a month late. However, gardeners have to be an optimistic lot and with luck 2017 will get off to a better start. The snow outside as this is written is bound to be just a blip! Sue MATINEE THEATRE GROUP We started the Autumn season with a visit to The Carver Theatre, Maple, who performed a very clever farce “The Decorator”. The casting and acting were superb. There were only three actors and each had very demanding roles, particularly the decorator. A really successful outing. Ruth Members went to the Lowry on October 19th to see one of Alan Ayckbourn’s earlier plays “Relatively Speaking”. After an uneventful first act, the two stars- Robert Powell and Liza Goddard- came on stage and the laughs started coming thick and fast. It was a typical Ayckbourn plot of mistaken identities and resulting confusion and an excellent garden set, plus clear diction, helped make the play a most enjoyable experience. Val “Crazy For You” performed by Stockport Operatic at The Plaza was our next outing. This was a slick and polished production although a little noisy at times. The cast worked vey hard and the costumes were pleasing.. Matthew Bourne’s “The Red Shoes” at the Lowry was magical. The dancing, costumes, sets and lighting were so imaginative and we enjoyed a delightful afternoon. We start the New Year with a trip to the Bolton Octagon to see Willy Russell’s “Educating Rita”. We have also booked for Twelfth Night at the Royal Exchange on 25th April, then Alan Bennet’s “Talking Heads” on June 25th. Booking forms are available at the General Meeting. Associate members can send me an A4 SAE and I will send them a booking form. Ruth BOOK GROUP “The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman” by Canadian Denis Theriault, written in French and translated by Liedewy Hawke, received a mixed response. It tells the tale of Bilodo, a lonely postman, who finds relief from his isolation by illegally steaming open envelopes and reading their contents. One day he comes across a mysterious letter containing only a single haiku and finds himself caught up in the relationship PAGE 3 NEWSLETTER 34 SEPT,OCT,NOV,DEC-16 JAN 2017 between a long-distance couple who write to each other using only haiku, a beautiful and succinct form. .of Japanese poetry. When one of the correspondents dies, Bilodo takes over the correspondence, with disastrous results. The book was beautifully written and the haikus enchanting, but this book wasn’t to everybody’s taste. Nevertheless it prompted a lively discussion. We all agreed that Patrick Gale’s “A Place Called Winter” was worth reading, but rather uncomfortable at times. In Edwardian England, highly respectable Harry Cane is forced to emigrate to the harsh, newly colonised Canadian prairies. He embarks on an extraordinary journey, not only of physical hardship, but also a voyage of self-discovery. Patrick Gale based this novel on the life of his great-grandfather and it is a fascinating book. Andrea Levy’s “Small Island” well deserved its many awards and most of us agreed it was an interesting read and created much discussion. The story describes the experiences of two well educated Jamaicans when they emigrate to England after the Second World War when racism was still very strong .The book also highlights the difficulties of people settling down after the war, scarred by the conflict. “The Lie” by Helen Dunmore was a book well worth reading but not particularly enjoyable. Set during the First World War and afterwards in 1920, the novel describes Daniel’s experiences in the trenches, the death of his “blood brother” and how these events affected his subsequent life. The author started her career as a poet and this is evident in her writing and choice of words. Our final book “The Wide Sargasso Sea” by Jean Rhys was not a popular choice. It is written as a possible prequel to “Jane Eyre” and described the early life of Bertha, or rather Antoinette Cosway, a Creole girl brought up in Jamaica just after the island gained independence. The story is told in the first person by three of the characters and this made it difficult to follow although the descriptions of Jamaica were vivid. Bertha’s story, of course ends in tragedy as most do most of the books written by Jean Rhys. She lived a colourful life and her books no doubt reflect this. Her work was highly regarded but we are not sure why. Ruth PLAY READING GROUP The play reading group continues to meet on the third Thursday of the month at 2pm in various venues. Sometimes, if more convenient for the members, we get together on a Wednesday. In January the chosen play is 'All Things Bright & Beautiful,' a comedy by Keith Waterhouse & Willis Hall. We have our main meeting Wednesday 4th January or February 1st if you can arrive for 1.15, we meet at Trinity Methodist Church SK3 8TB just let me know if you you'll be attending.

  • The Link, Barbara)
    Part of East Cheshire and Derbyshire Borders Missional Partnership (United Reformed Church ) TTHHEE LLIINNKK NOVEMBER 2020 “The East Cheshire and Derbyshire Borders is a Christian Church, living out the love of God by reaching into the heart of each community and responding to its needs” 1 Dear Friends, November starts with All Saints day which this year is on a Sunday followed by All Souls day on the Monday. This year, more than any other, I think we need to pause and remember all those for whom this year has brought grief and loss when the full celebration of the life of a loved one has been limited and constrained by our journey with ‘the virus’. Remember all the family and friends of the neighbour whose cortege you watched pass, all the individuals who stood at arm’s length from those they would have embraced, all the young people whose first experience of loss has been robbed of the communal and supportive togetherness of grief. Remember the fellowship of the church and our losses, and remember those whose grief remains raw because the opportunities to fellowship have been so few. As we move into winter and the hope of spring seems so far away let our prayer life become deeper and richer as we remember all saints, all souls, held by the Love of God AND all us ‘saints below’ who need the love of friend and stranger to help us through. Every Blessing Alison 2 Prayer and Sunday Service Phoneline: 0161 509 4264 The prayerline will be refreshed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a short service being offered over Saturday and Sunday.

  • Strines- New Mills
    More Trips Out from Eccles Station J.E.Rayner 2010 Eighty two MARPLE –STRINES- NEW MILLS. This is an attractive stroll along the Goyt Valley. (For a very easy short walk go as far as Strines Station - trains back to Manchester every two hours so time your walk right). After Strines there is a relentless ascent to Brookbottom (the pub might be open!) followed by wide open views on the quiet lane to New Mills. Take the train to Manchester Victoria and from there a tram to Manchester Piccadilly Station. From here catch a train to Marple (NOT Rose Hill). Option: - turn right as you get off the tram and on Fairfield Street use the lift on the left to the link bridge lounge. STAGE I Alight at Marple Station. Go down the short approach road and turn left to Marple Bridge. Marple Bridge is an attractive stone village. The Midland is a free house selling cask marque real ales, tea, coffee, snacks and full meals. Cross the bridge over the River Goyt and turn right past the shops (The Royal Scot sells Robinson’s real ales). Fork right onto Lower Lea Road, and follow this. At the top of the gentle rise you see the hills ahead. Descend to a T with Lakes Road. Turn left along this. Follow it to the right in front of Bottoms Hall (Charmingly named, impressively sited - Georgian?). Next on the left are some lakes. Called Roman Lakes they are used for boating and fishing –take a look. Pass under the railway viaduct. On the right is a weir.

  • Compstall Road ROMILEY WELCOME
    199 Compstall Road ROMILEY WELCOME Set back with its own driveway, this traditional-style brick house has a warm façade, making you want to step inside out of the chilly autumn air. Through the bright, light hallway and to the right is the lounge/dining room, which spans the depth of the house. Stylishly decorated, the colour choices divide the space into two distinct areas. The dining area is at the front of the house with a distinctive square bay window pouring light into the space. The neutral shades ensure that a stunning period fireplace stands out as a gorgeous focal point. You can imagine sitting down as a family for Sunday lunch, all cosy as the autumnal weather bashes against the windowpane. As you cast your eye to the other end of the room, the dramatic contrast is hypnotic, with the deep bold blue walls drawing you into its elegant scene. There are so many features to take in that you don’t know where to begin. There is the stained-glass window, under which the owners have placed a gold cocktail bar, and the large grand period fireplace, virtually overshadow- ing its neighbour. This room is a tale of two halves, the calm and understated dining room moulding into the glamourous lounge, which has certainly been designed to make a statement. As contrasting as they are, they work in complete harmony. ENTERTAINING DREAM Back into the hallway, and at the back of the house is the kitchen. It is certainly impressive; the luxurious and high-quality finish is evident from the moment you enter.
